It is finished and it got a name!
If you feel lost and don't understand what this post is about, I suggest you check out the previous posts on this topic:
I finally decided what to call this thing.
An embroidery art journal! :)
There were so many options to choose from but in the end, I decided that calling it “stitch book” would be a little misleading, since usually stitch books are aimed at practicing stitches or making a sort of a catalog out of stitches. “Embroidery sketchbook” would describe the purpose of this whole project better but it sounds a little weird to me.
Calling it an art journal seems appropriate since art journals usually do contain different sketches and experiments with various mediums. And that's exactly what I did: tried to go out of my comfort zone and play with new materials and styles.
Have a look at the gallery below to see the result of this journey :)
As a matter of fact, the way I assembled the journal is very awkward :D I will not even tell you because I don't want anyone to copy the steps and then wonder why Amina recommended such a disastrous method, haha. But I'm happy because now I have a few guesses on how to make the next one look better and tidier.
Yes, I'm already thinking about the next one! And I really encourage you to try making an art journal too, this is a LOT of fun :)
P.S. For the page with embroidered "lace" I followed various Youtube tutorials. If you want a source for a particular one, tell me in the comments and I will try to find it :)
This is genius. I am so inspired.
